Abstract
Nanotechnology is an innovative area of science that includes the design, characterization, production, and application of materials, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at the nanometer scale (1–100 nm). Nanotechnology incorporation in cosmetic formulation is considered as the hottest and emerging technology available. Cosmetic manufacturers use nanoscale size ingredients to provide better UV protection, deeper skin penetration, long-lasting effects, increased color, finish quality, and many more. Micellar nanoparticles is one of the latest field applied in cosmetic products that becoming trending and widely commercialized in local and international markets. The ability of nanoemulsion system to form small micellar nanoparticles size with high surface area allowing to effectiveness of bioactive component transport onto the skin. Oil in water nanoemulsion is playing a major role as effective formulation in cosmetics such as make-up remover, facial cleanser, anti-aging lotion, sun-screens, and other water-based cosmetic formulations. The objective of this review is to critically discuss the properties, advantageous, and mechanism of micellar nanoparticles formation in nanoemulsion system. Therefore, present article introduce and discuss the specific benefits of nanoemulsion system in forming micellar nanoparticles for cosmetic formulation which become major factors for further development of micellar-based cosmetic segments.
Highlights
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has defined cosmetics as “particles intended to be applied onto human bodies or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance”
The findings showed phase inversion temperature was successfully developed stable nanoemulsion system that dispersed with smaller Vellozia squamata-micelles particle size (≤155 nm) that are adequate for topical application of the extract
Nanoemulsion has recently achieving a huge demand to form micellar nanoparticles-based cosmetics beause this is due to nano-system potential and efficient delivery system of bioactive components
Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has defined cosmetics as “particles intended to be applied onto human bodies or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance” Cosmetics is defined as a product that possesses the amplification of skin appearance, beauty and intensify the cleansing (Gautam et al, 2011). Attributable to these definitions, Thornfeldt (2005) was characterized the lists of cosmetics segments and denoted as skin moisturizer, anti-aging, facial makeup, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, hair color, and others products that were used for an appearance enhancement (Thornfeldt, 2005)
